Hi

Yes if you can network your two computers, it is possible.

If your desktop is running WinXP Pro, you can set a Remote Desktop
connection between the two computers,

If you do not have WinXP Pro, you can use a 3rd party remote control program
like this, http://www.ezlan.net/vnc.html[

I have tried other places and just saw this group added to my
newsserver. Would you please try to answer this for me?

Thanks so much.


I have a problem with the Actiontec 704 modem router that was provided
for me by Verizon
just a couple of days ago. I have had no real problems setting my home
network of 9 computers
up until I reached the point of trying to get the access point to work
properly. First, all the computers
that are using a wired connection can see the internet, and share
files with each other in both Windows XP
[SP2 and all other patches to current] and any of 3 variations of
Linux [Xandros, SuSe, and Fedora Core 4].
The computers that are wired can see and share files with the 2
computers that are connecting wirelessly.
The wireless computers can see and share files as well as the
internet. What cannot seem to happen is the
2 wireless connections cannot share files even though they are
configured to do so.

For purposes of troubleshooting, all firewalls on the computers have
been disabled [yes, they have been double
checked and are down], and all computers are booting Windows XP SP2 so
that the network is homogenous as
far as operating systems are concerned. The wireless clients are
configured in INFRASTRUCTURE mode, so that
they can correctly hook up to the Actiontec. Also, it would be
extremely annoying to have to change from INFRA
mode to AD HOC mode just to share files, and also it wouldn't work
well as the 2 wireless computers are at
opposite ends of the house with the access point in the middle. The
connection is not great in AD HOC between
the two clients and also if I were to somehow enhance the connection
speed and quality, I would still have to be
physically travel across the house to change operational modes.

Almost forgot, again, for setup purposes all encryption has been
disabled.

I have had other problems with the Westell Versalink 327W, but this
problem is a common one with that unit.

Am I doing something wrong or is this item a piece of garbage that is
not truly an access point, but just a wireless
connection? Because I can connect to the wired parts of the network I
see that the connection is being made, and
am hypothesizing that this 'access point' is not speedy enough to
intake one wireless connection and output another.

As you might suspect, Verizon and Actiontec are pointing fingers at
each other and saying the other is responsible
for supporting this.


Any help I could get would be SO appreciated.
